Preaching's Preacher's Guide to the Best Bible Reference for 2014 (Old Testament Commentaries). Levitical rules and regulations can at first appear irrelevant to contemporary Christians--but they provide important Old Testament background for understanding large portions of the New Testament. Leviticus describes a point in human history when God came and dwelt in the midst of the ancient Israelites and taught them what their purpose in life really was. Jay Sklar's commentary makes clear what it is that the Lord said to them and, in so doing, makes clear what he says to us today.

Jay Sklar (PhD, the University of Gloucestershire), is Professor Old Testament and VP of Academics at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis. His doctoral research was completed under Professor Gordon Wenham and focused on the theology of sacrifice (Sin, Impurity, Sacrifice, Atonement: the Priestly Conceptions). He has continued work in the Bible's first five books, writing commentaries on Exodus (ESVEC, Crossway), Numbers (Story of God, Zondervan), and two on Leviticus (ZECOT with Zondervan and TOTC with IVP).
